Augrented Insights Report for 778 Driggs Avenue

The 6-story, 29-unit building at 778 Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Juan Ramos, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since early 2024. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about construction lead dust in common areas (reported March 2025), multiple unsanitary conditions including mold (January 2025), and various plumbing issues affecting sinks and basins (January 2025). The building has also faced challenges with building systems and infrastructure, including problems with doors/windows and an intercom system (November 2024) where inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation.

Apartment 3E has been a particular focus of violations, with inspection findings from October 2024 revealing issues including water leaks, defective fixtures, and pest infestations, though some of these violations were later certified as corrected. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs, having no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2025). Rodent inspections conducted in recent years show variable results, with rat activity noted in March 2022 and compliance passed in May 2022.

The building has two active DOB violations as of 2025 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements and a missed FISP Cycle 9C technical report filing deadline in February 2024. Historical records from 2019 indicate serious safety concerns, including worker injuries related to scaffold conditions, though these were ultimately resolved. Recent 311 complaints about garbage/recycling storage (May 2025) were investigated but found not to violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing most but not all issues, with several violations requiring time for correction per housing laws, and some complaints remaining unresolved or requiring re-inspection.
